Day 38
Gave all the ladies a good feed yesterday.. pots were all pretty dry and they each received an entire gallon of water with nutes! Small amount of runoff, but not too much. I now have seven water jugs I'm using and don't really want to get more just because of the space they require. This is becoming quite time consuming to pull them all out and water/tuck/trim, it's about a 2.5 hour ordeal to get through them all and get them put back in. I will never do more than five plants again, even autos!
The nutes I gave were all pretty much the same as all plants are about the same stage of growth. Some received extra Boomerang and/or Big Bloom if I thought they could use a little extra nitrogen. Still no nute burn from the feed last week, I hit them full strength with the bloom nutes.. Risky I suppose but I feel they can handle it so we shall see.
Each plant received:
2 tsp Big Bloom (2/3 strength) Blue Cheese and RRF 3 tsp (full strength)
2 tsp Tiger Bloom (full strength)
1/2 tsp Boomerang (1/2 strength) BC and RRF 1 tsp (full strength)
1/4 tsp Open Sesame (full strength)
Based on Fox Farms feed schedule (pretty close anyway)
They are still stretching a bit but slowing down in the past few days it seems. I'm still raising the light a couple "clicks" every day or two. These girls only got one feeding of Grow Big veg nutes but seem to have what they need so I'm not giving any more. They seem to love the HPS and I'm expecting to see some bud growth start to pick up. Here's some pics yo!

Starting to become a full-scale jungle in there, GZ!
Good luck w/ the full strength nutes, fingers crossed for you. My gal got burnt a touch on half-strength Beastie Bloomz, but Dark Devils are known to be a bit nute sensitive until late flowering....

Thanks Trap, it's become my little nightmare in a way! I think the reason I didn't get burn with the full strength Grow Big is because I water/feed so little. If you don't count the very small bit I gave when the girls were seedlings, I've only watered six times this entire grow which includes yesterday. And with only giving plain water every other time, the plant has lots of time to use up the nutes. Just my thoughts, I know if I gave the Tiger and Open Sesame a couple times a week it would burn the shit outta them!
Day 41
Well it's been four days now since I hit them with the nutes and I'm starting to see some burn and cal/mag issues. Probably shouldn't have hit them quite so hard but I really thought they could handle it. The Psychofruit and Haze 2.0 are showing the worse damage and the others not too bad or none at all. I've never ever had cal/mag problems as our water is pretty high in that stuff, but I guess these autos are much more sensitive. I'm sure the ph of my soil was getting low causing the cal/mag to lock out. I stopped at the hydro store and got a bottle of GH cal/mag so we will see if that helps. I watered each lady just now with a gallon of tap and a tsp of cal/mag.. Psycho and Haze each got 1.5 tsp. Let each one run off into a bucket although they were all pretty dry. Got some pics for you guys!

Blue Cheese
Here is the room currently.. I've tried to keep things staked up and under control but I'm kinda failing here! I really need that Speed and Sweet Skunk to finish in the 50 days although I'd be happy with 60! Light has been running 19-5 the past week and I just dropped it to 18-6, trying to push these things to finish!

Looking great so far Zach! Hopefully you can get the cal-mag issue sorted quickly. Best of luck with the rest of the grow.
Day 46
FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE! That son of a bitch Psychofruit must've thought there were too many ladies at the party and had to get her nuts out! Trapper, you told me to watch her and I really did.. once buds started forming everywhere I guess I got a little lazy with her. I checked all the others and they are fine.. I only found two small bunches of sacks with a couple that had opened. I'm not seeing any pistils that have turned orange and curled in so maybe I got lucky and caught it in time, fingers crossed. As for the hermie bitch, she was immediately killed and stuffed into a plastic sack.. I hope she dies a slow, miserable, moldy death gasping for air and water. She was slaughtered in front of the others in case anyone else had similar ideas.
Moving on.. The good girls were watered two days ago, again with a tsp of Cal/mag. New growth is not showing any problems so hopefully I'm on top of things. Still think my ph is too low so I took it easy with the nutes this time and gave them a full gallon and ran off excess into bucket.. Basically fed them all the same, with the cal/mag tsp, 1 tsp Boomerang, 2 tsp Big Bloom, 1 tsp Tiger Bloom. Will give plain water with cal/mag next water in two days. We will be out of state for four days so planning on a heavy watering before we leave Saturday. They should be ok but I'm worried about them being "shut in" the grow room for four days straight. This is a total stealth grow so I can't depend on our cat sitter to help, or even know it's there. With Psycho gone, I have moved another fan in to help move the air around. Here's some new pics!

I love the RRF! This is going to be a massive tower by the time she's done
